Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of how all the different parts of living things work together, like what they are made of and how they use energy. It helps us understand how things like plants, animals, and people work. Scientists who study biochemistry learn what molecules make up living things, including proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and they study how these molecules interact with each other. They also look at how cells use the energy they get from food to do things like grow and reproduce. All this research helps scientists come up with new and better ways to cure illnesses and keep us healthy.
